Season 1 Reviews
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Messiah introduces a character who might be divine, then keeps elbowing him off screen to focus on meandering subplots.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
So much is so right about Messiah that it makes the eventual collapse into paranoid politics and alt-right clichés all the more painful.
TV Fanatic
Paul Dailly
Ultimately, Messiah fails in many aspects. Some of the storylines don't mesh well, but the central messages of the does have some resonance.
Decider
Joel Keller
It's not that Messiah is bad, but there's really no compelling reason to watch it.
Den of Geek
Lacy Baugher
The show is much more compelling for the fact that it doesn't tell you what to believe one way or another, and generally lets viewers make up their own minds about whether the mysterious cult-like leader is miraculous or a myth.

Keshav Kant
All of this makes Messiah seem like it would be a great watch, especially in the 21st century, where we are constantly being fed news about "deep-fakes" and hoaxes, but Messiah comes off quite dry for the first half of its 10 episodes.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
If you're not on the fence and you're eager to watch Messiah...enjoy. My saying it's a badly made show doesn't make it exist any less.
Variety
Daniel D'Addario
All of this is told so blandly and straightfacedly as to deny any metaphorical reading or symbolic resonance.
The Spool
Tim Stevens
Yes, the series has taken us all over the globe. Despite all that physical movement though, it's largely failed to deliver any kind of dramatic or emotional progress.
Pay or Wait
Sharronda Williams
Messiah has an interesting premise that ultimately falls short due to bland storytelling and unnecessary subplots.
Thrillist
Aaron Pruner
All of these storylines find each member of the show's ensemble cast going through a journey of sorts, and this is where Messiah shines.
ArtsATL
Steve Murray
In trying to cover all possible bases and maintain a manufactured ambiguity, they make Al-Masih little more than a cipher who smiles beatifically one moment, malevolently the next.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
With its melodramatic storytelling and excess of side characters who break the show's focus, Messiah nearly runs out of ideas once it's done establishing a zeitgeist none of us have seen before.
Christianity Today
Kutter Callaway
Messiah invites people of faith to reflect on what it means to remain steadfast in a tumultuous world and how the times in which we live affect who and what we believe in.
The Playlist
Steven Allison
Basically, it's a mere matter of tone inconsistency, and while it does nag on occasion, it doesn't ruin the general experience. And despite polarizing audiences, the concluding twist isn't to be missed.
Pajiba
Dustin Rowles
Is it worth suffering through 10 tedious hours of this series to arrive at that ambiguous ending? As Steve Carell's Michael Scott once famously said upon hearing that Toby had returned to The Office: "NO GOD. NO GOD, PLEASE NO, NO, NO, NOOOOO."
Common Sense Media
Marty Brown
Global psychological thriller missing thrills, has violence.
